New build could someone look at my parts suggestion please

So I've decided I'm going to get rid of my current pc and keep the graphics card and upgrade that later I currently have a Zotac gtx 1060 6gb and then later upgrade to a rx5700xt?

 

After a bit of research I've decided to go with a ryzen cpu (3600x) which I've found on Amazon for £190 

 

For the motherboard MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAx

 

For ram Corsair VENGEANCELPX16GB (2x 8GB) DDR4 3600 (Pc4-28800)

 

I have a 1tb hdd and a 120gb ssd should I reuse or get new ones 

 

What sort of power supply would be good for when I decide to upgrade in the far future

 

Case suggestion at a decent price 

 

I've tried doing as much research as I can at the moment this is going to be my first pc build anyone out there that would take the time to give any suggestions on my parts if they are compatible or I can get better priced etc would be much appreciated thanks in advance :)

- I would get a 3600, it's cheaper and you're not losing anything you can't gain back by an overclock

- You should replace the SSD with a larger one

- PSU: RMx from corsair is decent, and usually at a good price. Check the PSU tier list

- For case: Meshify C is still one of my absolute favorites. If you want cheaper, The MX330 is pretty cheap and nicer looking- but of course theres plenty more

Thank you for the suggestions the price difference is £20 between 3600-3600x so is it worth saving £20? I like the look of the Meshify C and would a rmx 650w cover me for when I upgrade to say a rx5700xt

thanks again

Like you can if you want to avoid overclocking, but I don't think it's worth it all that much

 

Yes a 650w rmx unit would suffice. A 550w unit even. But I know how close the prices are to each other.

You don't need a new SSD. Keep using your existing SSD and upgrade it later on.

 

Case is my personal preference, can be changed.

 

I agree, 3600x is slightly better, but 3600 performs close to 3600x while being cheaper. I hardly recommend 3600x these days.

If you are willing to spend slightly more, then this is the best case that you should purchase.
